Project: Basically Stock CJ-7
When people ask about my Jeep I tell them “It’s a basically stock 1982 CJ-7.” This usually raises eyebrows and so I continue “It’s got a stock Ford grain truck rear axle, a stock Jeep Wagoneer front axle, a stock Ford F-250 transmission and stock GM fuel injection on an AMC V-8.”
When I bought it in 2002 it was listed as “trail ready” and had a tired 258 with a rebuilt transmission. It was SOA on 33” mud terrains and a Warn full floater kit with a spool in the Model 20 rear axle. The full floater kit was kind of cool because the locking hubs let you flat tow even with the spool. Here’s a picture of my wife driving it on our first trail ride, and yes she’s giving us a good ‘ol Pirate salute! :flipoff2::flipoff2:
